Betrayal at the Gate

 The objective of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness has been an effort by many people especially Black Americans and minorities for centuries in America .

Frequently in this endeavor there are many adversaries and even collaborators that were once allies in these pursuits but are now manipulated by those who are the enemies and obstructionists to these pursuits  .

UM has now become one of those reluctant allies with many of its policies of late. It is painful to observe and witness UM’s retreat in these pursuits.

UM no longer requires Diversity statements for promotions and tenure, unfortunately UM even now it has adopted a neutrality posture in providing declarations and statements about critical issues and challenges that confronts students and citizens in Michigan and across its spectrum.

Part of this strategy to disengage includes hiring people of color to orchestrate these regressive policies and practices which of course is also a strategic  deceitful maneuver.

Once again in America so many are in peril

because of the hue of their skin, gender and politics
